[Trombone-l] Bb Bass clef

[Thomas Cox]

Speaking of Bb bass clef...I was playing a brass ensemble arrangement  
of Polovetsian Dances once last year.  I can't remember who the  
arranger or publisher was now...but I was playing 2nd trombone, which  
doubles on euph for a couple of passages...

Anyway...when it was marked Trombone, it was written normally, at  
concert pitch, but whenever it switched to Euph, it was in B-flat  
bass clef!  This was pretty maddening, so I went and Finale-ized the  
euph parts in concert pitch...but alas, we only played it in that one  
rehearsal.
